Undercurrents is an exhibition of etchings and ceramics spanning ten years of work. Drawing inspiration from the rich history of ceramics, detailed aquatint etchings of ceramic vessels reimagine their decoration, and the landscapes of their journeys from kilns to homes.
The use of a variety of etching and printing techniques including: aquatint, chine collé, multi-plate, and monotype, allow the ink to portray the smooth surfaces of glazed pots, the gritty texture of sand and organic flow of water, giving a tactility to the the prints. The ceramics depicted represent more than crafted objects, they are vessels of memory, fragments of landscape and place. Through them the viewer is invited to imagine their stories and consider the unseen currents of memory that flow beneath the surface of everyday objects. Undercurrents reflects a deep longing to connect. 19th August - 5th September Opening Event: Thursday 20th August 6-8pm |
